Triumph over a broken heart by SilverInu93

Betrayal

Hello, I'm Kagome Higurashi. I live at the Shinto Shrine with my mother, grandfather and my little brother, Sota. It has been three and a half years since I was pulled into the Bone Eaters Well. Three and a half years of traveling with a monk, demon slayer, and demons. Three and a half years of bonding friendships, making new enemies, and confusing romance.

I, Kagome Higurashi, am a traveling reincarnated priestess. Soon after being dragged into the past I discovered that I had a jewel called the Shikon Jewel Shard inside me. Many demons are after it, and because of that it was accidently shattered. Because of this I'm know traveling the lands of the past with Sango, the demon hunter, Miroku, the monk, Shippo, a child fox demon, Kilala, a demon cat, and Inuyasha, a half demon dog.

It's not a fun little walk in the park. There are other demons out there who are and aren't after the jewel who cause many problems for me and my friends. Some of those demons are Sesshomaru, a full blooded Inu demon and Lord of the West, he is also the half-brother of Inuyasha. Even though those two are brothers they don't have that brotherly bond. Another demon that causes a lot of difficulty is Naraku, a cruel and heartless half demon.

Naraku has been after the Shikon Jewel for a long time. He's the one who started this journey. He seeks the jewel shards to make him stronger and change him from a half demon to a full demon. But, thanks to the help of friends we search and fight Naraku for the jewel shards. So that one day I can wish on the jewel to have never been; so that no one can be influenced by the power it holds.

This leads us to where we are now…...

"Kagome hurry up will you I want to get going!" An impatient voice shouted from outside the small hut.

"Shut it, Inuyasha, I'm trying to get the stuff we need before we leave! I don't want to leave anything important behind." Appearing from the hut was a long raven haired beauty. She had a large light yellow book bag handing open on one arm, while she kept shoving things in that where in her other arm. As soon as she had cramped everything into the bag she forced it shut and placed it on her back.

Looking up the raven haired beauty replied, her light brown eyes landed on a pair of golden eyes. Before she could open her mouth, and before she could finish her glare at him, the boy in front of her had turned on his heels and started to strut off.

"INUYASHAAAAA! SIT BOY!" Kagome growled as she watched the hanyou kiss the ground with his face. Kagome stormed off as the hanyou twitched in his hole. "Inuyasha you're such an ass you can't even wait for me to finish packing, the shards aren't going anywhere. You got it?" She snapped as she dug her heels into the ground and crossed her arms in anger.

"MAMA MAMA!" A young kitsune cried happily as he ran toward Kagome. Kagome noticed the child and all her anger diminished. She smiled as the child approached her. The memory of the blood bonding she made with the kitsune flashed through her mind.

*Flash back*

"Hey, what are you doing in my bag!? Get out of there you little thief!" A younger Kagome yelled as she ran toward a small kitsune, who was digging through her bag.

"Ha-ha found them... now I can get my revenge for my papa's death!" Shippo grinned and jumped up using his fox magic. The magic made his small form disappear. Confused the small kitsune looked around, mumbling something. Then he saw the white haired half demon's tall pick up a small little skull and fling it.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" The kitsune cried out, while holding his head in pain.

"That's for trying to take the shards!" Inuyasha growled.

*Flack back ends*

"Hey there Shippo, how's my little kit doing?" She cooed to the child that she picked up and nuzzled affectionately, the sound of flesh being peeled from the ground could be heard in the background.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR KAGOME!" Inuyasha growled as he crawled from his crater. Inuyasha stormed over to Kagome and Shippo enraged.

"We can't leave until Sango and Miroku get here. They said they had go get something before they left." Kagome blandly responded as she looked up from nuzzling her child just to see Inuyasha about to grab Shippo's tail.

"Inuyasha I swear to Kami-sama you do that and I will make sure you sat all the way to hell." The raven haired girl pronounced protectively. Inuyasha grumbled and moved away from Shippo's tail. The trio moved into the hut, while they waited for the demon slayer and monk to arrive.

"Finally we can get a move on it." Inuyasha protested and started walking out of the village once more not even bothered to look back.

"What's with him?" Sango said as she held Kirara, the two tailed demon cat.

"Just being rude and anxious to get going again, I'm just glad I'm no longer have to worry about missing school and homework, it makes it a whole lot easier on me." Kagome replied to the demon slayer as they began to follow Inuyasha. Kagome could hear a few special words coming from Inuyasha that made her raise her brow at him.

"Stupid I did nothing wrong..." Inuyasha grumbled to himself. He didn't notice that he had said it too loud for a certain female to hear him. Kagome, having taken notice, stormed up to him, but slowed down to his pace when next to him.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome said with a hint of venom in her voice. She smiled at him as a dark aura surrounded her.

"Wha..." Inuyasha forgot to finish what he was saying as he felt himself become smaller and smaller under her gaze.

"What did you say?" She growled at the terrified hanyou before her. The raven haired girl had not noticed the demon slayer, monk and her kit backing away from her scary demon eating aura.

"Ma...mama." Shippo whimpered looking at his adopted mother. Kagome looked at her son and slowly calmed down. She walked over to him and picked the small fox demon up.

"Sorry, Shippo for scarring you, Inuyasha needs to learn when to be quiet and sit." Kagome growled at Inuyasha who slammed in to the ground once more. "We are taking a lunch break here before continuing on, so let get a fire going so we can eat." Kagome said after a while; before heading to the side of the road to get some of the food out of her bag.

Time skip

Kagome smiled as she finished up the instant raman. She thought it was best to pack up the garbage while Inu hanyou pouted.

"Thank you Kagome. That meal was very delicious." Both Miroku and Sango said at the sometime as they handed over their empty plastic bowl.

"Thankyou mama, it was good." Shippo said as he tried to help his mom with the best of his ability.

"Oh you're more than welcome! Oh, Inuyasha bring your bowl over here please it would be a big help." Kagome asked as she poured the left over hot water onto the bowls to clean them off before packing them away.

Inuyasha made no move to do as she asked, since he was still mad at her for the sit command, and the break for lunch that she didn't even ask him about. Kagome sighed and finished the plastic dishes before standing up to retrieve Inuyasha's bowl.

"Now can we get going? I want to get moving before it gets dark." Inuyasha stated before standing up. Kagome looked at him in annoyance. She finished packing before the group set on their way. As they walked along the road Shippo and Kirara snuggled into a pair of female human arms before falling into a deep sleep.

The group stared at the Inu hanyou, not saying a single word until they reached a large meadow near the entrance of a forest. Kagome looked up at the sky. She could see the approaching night sky.

"I think we should get camp set up here before it gets too dark to do anything, and hopefully there is a hot spring nearby so we can bath." Sango suggested as she looked at Kagome and the rest of the group. Everyone agreed with the demon slayer.

"I agree with Sango." Miroku said as he eased over to the woman. If you looked closely you could see his hand twitching as it came near her rump. "I do agree with you Sango." Miroku said as his hand came incontact with her rump, causing a surprise and angry reaction.

Kagome took a step away from the two just as Sango brought her hand up, connecting it to the monks face. Leaving a bright red hand mark on his face. "Do you ever learn?" She said angrly as she then reached for her demon slaying weapon.

"Hey Miroku can you gather the fire wood so I can get started on dinner? I want to try to get an early start, we have a long way to go to get on this one I believe." Miroku quickly made a thanking motion to Kagome before he ran off into the forests edge to gather small logs, Inuyasha followed behind Miroku.

As the two left for wood and water Kagome and Sango set up the camp sight. When Inuyasha and Miroku returned they helped set up the fire and helped put the food on.

"Mama, do you bring me any candy?" Shippo asked quietly as he looked at the long raven haired teen.

"Yes, I did Shippo but only a little bit I don't what you eating a whole lot of sugar before bed. It's not good for a growing boy." Kagome purred motherly as she handed him a peace of chocolate before putting the rest away.

"Mmmmm-" The red haired kitsune replied as he took the chocolate and popped it into his mouth, happily. He stood there and sucked on the flavorful thing called candy as his mother and Sango pulled out the sleeping bags.

"Did either of you two see a hot spring?" Kagome asked after she unrolled the sleeping bag.

"Sorry Kagome, you and Sango will have to wait another day or so before we find a spring for you beautiful girls to bath in." the Monk said as his hands made perverted movements.

"Thanks for the information. For now let's all get some sleep, we have a long way to go in the morning, and we all need our strength." Kagome yawned and crawled into her sleeping bag. She moved over a little so Shippo could slip in with her.

The sound of cricket chirping filled the quite meadow that warm spring night. The soothing lullaby was as comforting sound to everyone.

Around midnight

Kagome woke up around mid-night panting from a nightmare. Taking her hand she rubbed it across her brow as she sat up and looked around only to find the embers of the fire glowing dimly in the dark night.

She slid out from under the warm sleeping bag, and moved to put more wood on the fire when she noticed Inuyasha had slipped off after one of Kikyo's soul collectors. She gave a sad sigh as she watched a log she had tossed onto the fire slowly catch flame.

Kagome stood up and stretched lightly before go to a river not too far away. Quietly walking down the river the girl hears something coming from a clearing up ahead, unsure of what it was she eased through the brush hoping to be undetected. As she got closer she sware she could hear a familiar voice. As she pushed through another bush she froze at the sound of Inuyasha's voice.

Tears filled the rim of Kagome's eyes as she turned around. She plowed strate through the brush, heading back the way she came. 'I knew he would never love me no matter how many time I helped, cared and supported him and all I get in return is him not trusting me leading me on... I... can't take it anymore.' She thought as tear began to roll down her cheek just as the camp came into veiw. Quietly she wrote a note to her sleeping friends. Then she quietly made her way over to the sleeping two tailed cat.

"Kirara can you give this to Sango and Miroku when they wake up? Just to let them know I will be ok and I will see them soon, and I will give you a treat next time I see you." Kagome said, as she did her best to choke back tears.

Without a second though Kirara gave an approving meow before curling up again. Kagome pulled out the extra bag she had packed and put some food, her clothing, shards, her arrows, and of course Shippo's toys. Carefully she moved her sleeping son from the sleeping bag. Then, she began to rolled up the sleeping bag and put it in her book bag before picking him up. She head out of camp as fast as she could without waking him up. Time passed fast, and before she know it she had covered almost three miles when the sound of thunder rumbled above her.

"crap" she said and looked around the area and spotted a large hollowed out Gajumaru tree, quickly she slipped into the hollowed out part and put of the sleeping bag over the entryway to shield them rain and possibility the wind if it started to blow. Kagome sat down and leaned her back against the smooth inside of the tree, slightly surprised it was still living.

The raven haired girl jumped slightly by the sound. She kept on walking as it began to poor, soaking the two. She walked until she came upon a cave. "Well I know everyone is getting wet, might as well make the best of it while I'm here." she yawned and closed her eyes listing to the sound of rain falling on the ground.

Time skip

Kagome yawned and stretched and rubbed her eyes before opening them. As she peeled her eyes open she saw glimpse of another person's eyes, peering down into her own brown eyes. Without thinking she slapped the owner of the golden eyes. As she looked closely at him realization hit her. Her eyes widened as she realized who it was.

"L-Lord Fluffy..." The raven haired miko said as her eyes grew even wider with surprise. She moved a hand over her mouth in shock.

"What did you call me?" The Lord of the West Lands growled looking down at the girl, who was sitting in her strange sleeping bag. Beside her was still the sleeping kit, tucked safely against her thigh.

"N-N-Nothing, I was not even aware you were he..." Kagome was cut off as his clawed hand grabbed her throat and lifted her off the ground about two to three feet and pinned her against the wall of the cave.

Kagome struggled to loosen his grip of his hand only succeeding in making his grip tighten. She struggled to breathe as she swung her leg. Unexpected to hit a sensitive spot on the young looking demon lord. The demon dropped her in shock.

Grabbing her back pack she threw it over her shoulder she bolted out of there knowing her three strikes were up. The only person who had been allowed to touch or give Lord Sesshomaru weird nicknames was the human child Rin. 'I am so screwed it's not even funny, I slapped, insulted and kicked him in any male's prized jewels, I'm good as dead soon.' Kagome though with a shaky gulp.

'What the hell did that wretch do to me? No injury or fight has ever been able to bring me to my knees with only one blow, not to mention she slapped me and called me Lord Fluffy.' Sesshomaru thought as he dug his claws into the stone walls. He stood up before walking out of the cave to see Jaken, and Rin walked out of the under growth.

"Lord Sesshomaru what happened? You have a hand print on your face." The child snickered at her lords small wound.

"Insolent little child there is nothing funny about it! How dare someone slap Milord!" The Toad demon growled trying his best not to find it funny.

"Jaken, that's enough." The demon lord growled as he took out after Inuyasha's wench, as he could still smell the scent of fear from her. He could easily see he was gaining on her and he was not going to hold back when he catched her.

Not too far ahead, Kagome was running as hard and fast as she could to avoid Lord Sesshomaru's poison whip and claws. Just the thought of that made her run harder, looking over her shoulder to see if he was close only to run into something. Groaning Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha standing before her.

'I'm screwed.' She though as she pushed away from him. She was about to walk off when she heard his voice. It made her freeze. Slowly she turned to face the young looking lord, who still had a nice red hand print on the side of his face.

"Umm ahh-" She looked at the two brothers. "Bye." Was the only thing heard from her as she took off again heading straight for the camp, only to stop to grab her bike before taking off again. There was enough noise that it awoke Sango, Miroku and Kirara up.

"What, what just happened?" Sango groaned as she rubbed her eyes. The view of the two brothers was blurry.

'This is amusing but quite annoying does that wretch ever stop moving.' He though as he let out a growl of annoyance before dodging his brothers attacks which stopped when Inuyasha caught sight of the hand print that belong to none other than Kagome.

"What the hell Sesshomaru... did Kagome... slap... you?" Inuyasha snickered at his brother. Sango and Miroku looked up to see the same red hand print and they both tried to contain their laughter.

Miroku coughed trying not to laugh as he looked at the lord. "Let me guess-" The monk said as his voice cracked finally pushing Sango over as she began to crack up "Kagome slipped out of camp hid in a tree which you happened to stumble upon while she slept... you happen to get a bit to close when she woke up ending with you getting slapped, and called a weird nick name... you got mad grabbed her lifted her off the ground and she kicked you...you dropped and she took off and everything ending up here." the Monk concluded still trying not to laugh.

"Monk you're smarter than you look, but my confrontation is with the girl not you." Lord Sesshomaru growled as he passed his brother and the two humans on the ground. His eyes were on a very scared prey.
